  • Not sure the point of your comment. The article uses that word, or ither forms of it a bunch, they are not shying away from it. An immigrant is someone who moves TO a country. An emmigrant is someone who moves FROM a country. These are both permanent moves (or intended to be). An expat is someone who LIVES in another country. Formally it means temporarily but I’ve seen it colloquially used for both temp and permanent.

    So “US expats in New Zealand” is precise and inclusive whereas “immigrant” means people from any country who moved permanently. Imprecise and non inclusive.


  • I disabled to use of emojis when I set up our companies internal wiki for SOP thinking that wasn’t appropriate for technical documentation, but my boss asked me to turn them back on because he wanted to use them. I begrudgingly obliged.

    Turns out he didn’t want to use smileies, just the icons for quickly identifying bullet points like ⛔‼️✅❕or even 🌐🖨️
